What's your Favorite FS (Filesystems) (ext{2,3,4}, REISERFS, XFS ...)

Hello everyone in this community. Excuse me if i have an orthographical error or something. My english is not my best feature, but i'm practicing, here :P

I'm a Newbie trying to guide to others newer newbies than me. Sometimes we find a "little" problem when i want to install a GNU/Linux distro in own machines. We don't know which File System to use for own partitions. So, the question is:

What are your favorites FS to choice in the moment to install any GNU/Linux (or another Unix/UNIX-Like OS), and why ?

I hope not cause problems with this question.

There are a lot of choices, like the Extended Linux Partitions (ext2,3,4), XFS, ZFS (The OpenSolaris FS), JFS, REISERFS (and reiser4), etc..

My favourite is reiserfs(3) because of journaling but when reiser4 will be stable(very stable) i will sure use it because on tests it was the fastest. For this moment i'm using reiserfs.

Hey, describing us something about your experience with it!. ZFS it's practically new in the GNU/Linux envs.

His creator saids something very funny for me: "You couldn't fill a 128-bit storage pool without boiling the oceans"
Well, i'm just work in a drugstore without a computing system (yeah, so boring), and the most big capacity of storage in GB that i ever have is 200 GB (right now, in my house, just occuping by ISOs and music :P).
Funny, or not ? :P

I like ext3. It's somehow traditional.

I like reiserfs for the same reasons that Peter Azi does. ext3 would be my second choice though.. I've never had any issues with ext3.
